EXTORTIONATE!

£15 to put some memory in!!

Its the simplest thing in the world, and they charge you £15 for it... I think £15 is like $30 and for a healthcheck its £70 which is $140 that's just crazy, and they treat the PC's like pieces of um.. well you know..

They we're cleaning one out.. with some compressed air,(from a compressor)
they broke a HSF because it was so damned powerful.. they just went and replaced it, and the owner wouldn't know a thing...

Sorry for rant xD

Not quite, at least the mechanic is doing something that requires thinking when he's bending you over.
 
Well, a local, well reputed mechanic charged me $600 for labour, and never fixed the problem. And, he said he only charged me for half the labour, he felt bad that he couldnt find the problem.

If I charge to fix someones computer, and I cant fix the problem, I only charge them my minimum fee. I fixed nothing, I should get paid the same.
